    A woman came home from America to her home in Corach-Fhorine. She dreamt of a treasure. There was to be a running stream and a flag beside it. She was to bring a woman with her, was to put scapulars around the frog's neck and hold him there while she was getting the treasure. they went to look for the treasure and when they reached the place and saw the frog both of them lost courage, and ran away. The treasure is supposed to be there still.
